    You used a guy who had no business being in a ring , much less in a title fight , as proof that Wlad was good at something.

    The fact it takes unhealthy old men to make Wlad look good says it all really.

    7 wins in a row and aired on hbo. Common opponent. I know you'll keep quoting me so this will be my last reply Wilder fanboy. Wlad had a great Jab I asked you to make a thread and a poll asking if he had a great Jab, and you never did. End discussion.
    Hope to See you in 5 years at Wlad's hall of fame ceremony. Cheers.

    No ,thats a lie.

    His fights were not on HBO , they weren't even televised. He fought once on Sky but was only because he was on the bottom of one of Joe Calzaghe's undercards.

    He fought unranked club boxers in hotel lobby's. He was medically unfit to compete at top level. He had no ranking whatsoever. Wlad plucking him out of obscurity as a title defence is worse than anything Wilder ever done.

    Bringing up Mercers ghost to prove something only says that Wlad was good against over the hill non -factors.

    The prime guys he fought all passed through his jab with ease.

    The thought of Tua knocking Lewis down 3 times is hilarious. Unfortunately for Wlad , getting dropped and ran all over the ring by Peter is a harsh reality.

    Peter wouldn't touch Lewis because the Lewis jab was infinitely superior. Now go cry go in the corner dweeb.

    Wlad vs Mercer was on hbo doofus. And peter might have walked through Lewis's Jab easier than Mercer. Mercer Peter is a better comparison than Tua who was much shorter then both men. And if Lewis went down he wasn't getting up he never did to win a fight

    Lennox Lewis did get up in plenty of time against Oliver McCall, granted he looked a tiny bit shaky, but the referee didn't give a chance to carry on. I always felt that was really harsh, given the circumstances, you give the champion a chance to carry on, fair enough if they get up and face a barrage of punches which they can't defend or throw anything back in reply, then you stop it, but no, that referee stopped it too soon. Give the guy a chance at least if he wants to carry on.

    The greatest name I would rank Wlad above? I think we should ask Don Turner. He trained the Klitschkos.

    Sanders would have sparked him out a second time going off the Tony Thompson fight. Thats why he wanted no part of the rematch.
    Its pretty damning when you can't beat or rematch a past prime perennial contender from the previous era.

    Lennox would've solved Wlad quite early in a bout between them. It has been told that he gave Sanders advice on how to beat Wlad, and that advice produced satisfactory results rather easily if I may be so bold.

    Peters was a very low skill hwt contender. Prime Lewis would take either Klit brother with his right hand.

    I would put him over Abe Simon only BC the fighters in all other eras were proven top quality unlike that lack luster Klitchko era. It would be close fight though. Klitchko wouldnt have been a k.o artist in this era BC fighters were just tougher than.He would be a weak giant like Abe the ape Simon.
